ANTIFRICTION BEARING PROVIDED WITH POLYMER ELECTRONICS

摘要

The invention relates to an antifriction bearing provided with sensors for recording physical quantities that act upon the bearing and with strip conductors and electronic components for evaluating and/or transmitting sensor output signals or characteristic values derived therefrom to electrical or electronic devices located outside of the bearing. To this end, the sensors, strip conductors and electronic components are placed on at least one bearing part while forming a measurement data recording and/or measurement data processing system. The aim of the invention is to reduce the production costs and to improve the manufacturing quality and measuring accuracy of a measuring bearing of this type. To this end, the invention provides that the sensors, strip conductors and/or electronic components are made from at least one electrically conductive or semiconducting organic material.
